When AI can generate good-looking work instantly, “good” can’t carry the weight it used to. Change the conversation to reflect what design has always been at its best: goals-aligned, research-informed, constraints-aware, and outcomes-focused. @pseudoroom.bsky.social shares how.

Still trying to figure this thing out, but I have set up a shop selling code for visual components. So far, just one item, more to come.

If you have suggestions for what other things to include there, I'm listening.

Well, CSS Day is live now ( https://cssday.nl ) and I've got a bunch of related things to do but unfortunately I'm ill and can hardly concentrate.
So the going will be very slow this time.

A little rough but migrated kitreviews.cc over to @11ty.dev paving the way for shutting down my virtual server. First time since maybe 1997 or 98 that I haven’t had a server to run CMS sites on. No more custom CMS, no more Drupal, not even this last Wordpress experiment. Weird.

Been keeping this tab open for months, maybe longer? Finally put @5t3ph.bsky.social ‘s awesome lil pen about using css filters to make images work better in dark mode. Put it in practice on my site rwt.io this morning in minutes. So. Good.

There are a lot of way more important things to deal with in the world right now, but after a very long journey we shipped an update that completes the shift over to our brand font across all of Chewy.com (and we were able to do it via one theme file, loaded from a central cdn). Feels pretty great

Still plenty of work to do but pretty excited to relaunch my website for the first time since 2018. Lots of new typography and techniques already, and really chuffed about how it’s coming along. Welcome to the new rwt.io

Will give this a proper write up soon but finally figured out the JS to create a web component to mimic ‘shape-outside’ for text line boxes. Then I have to resubmit it to the CSSWG issue queue. Example and link to repo here: jpamental.github.io/shape-outsid... #typography #design

Every once in a while I get a nudge from a friend I haven’t spoken with in a while. This week it was the wonderful Mr @zeldman.bsky.social - hello Jeffrey! Nice reminder that sometimes social networks can actually be, err, social :)

Why are mobile browsers so intent on capturing ‘hover’?! It’s just dumb, and breaks things for everyone, making you have to tap twice. Seems bad for everyone.
(I know you can put it in a pointer media query, but conceptually it’s just dumb)

Gave a new talk today at #SmashingConf about ‘typographic curiosities’—in performance, responsiveness, and expression. Loved the response so far so wanted to share the slides and resources: noti.st/jpamental/3A...

Spent time with Ellen before she had to go to NYC, went for a 162km ride, and rebuilt a carburetor. Solid ‘dad stuff’ work today.
